It’s been way over four years since I’ve returned to South Carolina. Sue went back for a quick trip a couple years ago for a funeral but didn’t have time to visit friends or past haunts.

This trip was specifically to visit Scott, Stephanie and Bella at their new beautiful home in Aiken, South Carolina which is located about a half hour from North Augusta and Augusta, Georgia. The pictures tell it all. Although a brief stay, we were able to meet Sue’s cousin Trish and her husband Carl plus have an evening meal with Sue’s long-time friend Ann. We also had the good fortune to take some historical side-trips around Augusta which turned out to be exciting. Again, the pictures speak volumes.

A personal highlight for both Sue and I was the opportunity to see Beau, a pet we cared for while living in North Augusta that we wanted to bring with us when we moved to Ocala, Florida but because he wasn’t ours, had to leave behind. Beau had an accident that injured both legs which due to infection had to be operated on. He hadn’t seen us since we moved and when he realized who we were, began crying and whimpering, nudging into us. Our tears flowed.

Anyway, a fun trip and great memories made for all. Thank you Scott, Steph and Bella for your hospitality. We loved it.
